Okay so I decided to reinstall Lion on a MacBook Air 11' Mid June/July which my dad gave me after he used it for a while. I restarted using Command + R and erased the Macintosh HD first and then tried the Lion Internet Recovery.
The problem i'm facing is it downloads all the way and then in between/by the end i get this error:
'Additional Components of Lion were unable to download. Please try again.'
Now i wish i hadnt erased my HD first. I've tried it for like 5 times with different connections. Still no luck.
Is there a solution guys? Or is my best bet to take it to the iStore here in India.
Thanks in advance.

If you have access to another computer, you could try downloading the Lion installer from the App Store, right clicking on it and clicking "Show Package Contents" and finding the "InstallESD.dmg" file and restoring this to a flash drive (8GB+). Then you can hold alt on startup and select the drive as your boot option. You should be able to install Lion on the air without needing to download the additional components, but it may still try. Even if it tries, it might still work since you're installing from a different drive. It's worth a shot.
